Just a quick question. Are VDE tools better than "insulated" tools?
Are they tested to a higher spec or is it that insulated tools are not
tested to any defined spec at all?

I think you have hit the nail on the head... Insulated _may_ perform as
well, but there is no way of knowing for sure. It probably will perform
well enough for 240V use, but I would not trust something untested
beyond that.
